IDF soldier Sgt. Elor Azariya is in the midst of his manslaughter trial for shooting and killing the wounded Arab terrorist in Hebron on Purim. Azariya killed him after he was wounded and on the ground.

On Sunday morning 20 Sivan, former MK Dr. Michael Ben-Ari along with family and supporters of Azariya protested outside the Yaffo Military Court as the trial against the young soldier continues. He compared the ongoing trial to the Dreyfus trial.

Last week, changing his original statements given to police following the incident, Azariya’s company commander testified against him and his testimony was backed by the battalion commander.

After a public outcry against the company commander, senior politicians and commanders spoke out in support of the company commander and others who testified against Elor, decrying the public criticism of the officers.

After speaking to the crowd, Ben-Ari recited Tehillim.
